" Sorting out of how are you -- we're doing very very well -- I -- it did dumbed down and what you play along with me here as we're looking at these two games this weekend coming up -- see in the AFC chairmanship if we used -- very very admittedly simplistic test which team has the better quarterback the team that -- will win. Obviously you'll pick Pittsburgh over Baltimore if you private simple formula to the Arizona Philadelphia game. When you go with the."
" I don't wild."
" Well well. Arizona you kidney Arizona don't really have commercial grid order you think Kurt Warner will better quarterback when I like the weapons he has around him and the and the location in the game yes I know. Again you know like this testy you know it's one Super Bowl that no Super Bowls yep."
" Well. Again all the big Donovan McNabb -- I really have. I think he's tremendous I think he's one of the more under appreciated athletes and sports is not be most and appreciate athlete. And that particular city. I really I'm a big -- bad bad. What are those conditions. Jerry I think that's it that's key point that their latest -- different deal like -- McNabb slam dunk but Warner inside. In -- In those types of conditions. He is really good."
" Those three wide I -- emboldens courteous three receivers. Who are as good or better than any yeah if you just."
" Yet know distant there's no question and it is they've got their role they got a Larry Fitzgerald vicious cash cleaned out every hit it -- he put the power forward it's every rebound right now."
" I -- for for more -- you. You know well here's the other thing that I try to determine at what point is Donovan McNabb going to have his oops mall yeah and -- does he do it in the NFC each. -- you play on the way to the super -- to do it you know what. See him play so spectacular hello hello guys -- very ordinary at. And and you know that safety was a Donovan McNabb all that -- you're an and that yeah Costa if if it is Eli Manning could just in the from the control and the through the wind in -- reasonably accurately down the Philadelphia Eagles would be home right now."
" Yes there. Yes so."
" Flacco did it was big hopes moments in quarterbacks. It it it if that is say the steals get a lead at seven point -- at ten point lead even. This Flacco have the ability to bring his team back on the road at night in the called in January. Is it is he capable of of making them -- bunch of big plays and winning a game for the Ravens."
" people wondered and I I ever being at the Ravens Cowboys Saturday night came I -- the Ravens reeled off too long -- there but."
" Flacco making plays on the stretch in the fourth quarter when the game's on the line on the road article -- in Dallas so. Yeah I mean big guy. Is immune to the fact he's a rookie Asian don't know we told them okay nobody was nobody has told -- you play for the Delaware blue -- last year."
" And you shouldn't be doing Michigan's between New York this year that's he's been lighting it up -- he's just -- eight."
" Getting combat force out there as a rookie quarterback. Pressure present."
" They had me set beginning of the conversation the home field advantage is huge although -- huge last weekend with three of the four road teams winning. Bill Russell's all the been famous for saying experience don't mean. -- And and we have experience versus inexperience here in in all on this weekend you buy into bill Russell's there -- experience really has very little to do with a team's success or lack thereof."
" I think it's -- it straight decision -- think the point two. When the team that's been there before when you say they're more experienced the march for an audition hit seven young upstart team yup that's really good they worrying. -- expressed that to me they think it's true like chemistry. -- didn't -- if Ricky -- should they go together okay want to keep winning the chemistry don't great -- when it came to losing Kevin chemistry off."
" They are our image are lasting image or of the Cardinals was when they were here and they in gave up 47 points in week sixteen by the way and that long ago. And you know what Adam they embarrassed themselves they embarrassed the league that just laid down and quit. And it's hard to believe this is the same team but what is change what is more important where -- you can you pinpoint that dramatic change. What is change their fortunes slopes the so dramatically over these colon -- was that a month. -- month ago."
" No more than they put in Foxborough right now."
" Dennis -- and Philly too and you'll -- 48."
" Yeah and I you know what I think I do think this that. When they've played similar games -- question division. They're dishing it was basic question weren't going to get the want to kill assumed it through -- as a matter. And I think that team and I by what he he was in that experienced enough. -- shut it down which is what they did based they're too young and immature in certain spots. And I go back to a conversation I had I had said -- try to get senate today and I will. But I go back to conversation that I had on the field. In Philadelphia. The night that the Cardinals were playing the Eagles and Bertrand Berry plays defensively -- music great -- tremendous level for awhile. And he comes running over to get -- and and I got you I don't -- And doom Gregory you're like eighteen years love my team I don't. Love your team he -- Best corporate guys I've ever played with. This year this special group. This year great group -- guys we get a real chance and I looked at them that bad -- okay. Good feel I'm glad the year idiot you believe that and they got that I lose by twenty or thirty points a big Bertrand Berry is delusional. And then the playoffs start they start to win they get some momentum and I just kept thinking back to that conversation evident that this is different kind of game."
" You know the other thing Adam is much ado made about their ability to be a little bit more balanced in the playoff has not just on the arm of Kurt Warner they're actually running the ball as well. I hidden in all that is the fact that -- actually stopping the run as well they've cut opponents. Rushing yardage in half since they got in the playoffs and by the way we're talking about Atlanta and Carolina two teams who could run the ball pretty well the regular season."
" You know and it took out basically to me the toughest division. And the -- about themselves and ain't intercepted a really formidable division this year and Arizona has wiped it up this postseason."
" Well I it's hard to. Tough to say that after watching Carolina maybe Atlanta put up a fight for Carolina speaking of embarrassing the league what happened."
" Jake DelHomme made Tarvaris Jackson look like Bart Starr."
" it was that was uncomfortable to watch this -- team. They're weak that in the home field that had visions of Super Bowl trophies yeah it's in their hands and."
" Net and then you -- know speed or else and that game. Started. And it's seven nothing and I'm watching it until I don't want to give -- just be applaud."
" Don't I don't know who was notable."
" Tell us that that. They write the second half wasn't worth watching it on to other -- I know you're you're you're the greatest information guy out there. Adam can you give us some information here will. Kansas City and Detroit -- they're now bull run by friends of Bill Belichick to Schwartz C. And and and Denver to Atlanta they don't need a quarterback with a good quarterbacks here. Will it be more likely to draft Matthew Stafford or or Mark Sanchez. Or make a deal for Matt Cassel. "
" Two great question to great question and what's your question Detroit has the first pick in the draft initiative that third pick in the draft -- And -- all the respect to Matt Cassel and their respective franchises in people above I cannot she a first or third overall pick going to New England."
" About a 33 in the 35 they got a lot of other picks after that that the."
" They did you have other picks that could be interest thing an enticing. If -- Kansas City. With a young roster like that. I think my opinion. Without knowing what scout be thinking. Would be bad. How to -- and sure enough that he can sustain that came for a year maybe two well you dress for the young guys it from when you fall in love with that. -- you gotta sit back and -- Sanchez Stafford. And see where you're coming from. See you assess their abilities. Detroit. To the yeah I hadn't played under small and back for I don't have an answer the quake it's it's fascinating. I think forty."
" I think they be better off with Cassel obviously I don't think it would cost -- that for if you Detroit or Kansas City you could trade for Cassel. Within seconds a third maybe a first for next year or."
" You're going to let -- that he -- no I don't think he'll be one above I really don't."
" Well over in -- and find the Patriots aren't that interested in ones anyway they like -- threes so you can put a package might as news and -- high two's and entice them. Then you could use the first to third pick on the offensive line from Alabama or Michael from Mississippi. And you could introduced to Europe. To your fanned them here's our quarterback Matt Cassel you saw what he did new England and here's our future but they don't Michael or or it was an Andre Smith Andre Smith. Who who will protect him for the next. 568 years -- if."
" It -- one of these general manager or coaches involved in these will be gone franchises that need a quarterback isn't the litmus test pretty easy. Boom what do you know for sure. About Matt Cassel that you don't know about these kids coming out of college what we know that Matt Cassel is NFL already that Matt Cassel can play can't succeed can grasp read defenses and do everything you need to do in the National Football League to win eleven games and you don't know that about Mark Sanchez say for sure you don't know that about and it is eminent but what about the."
" Free agents -- another way they could go it's. Let's see Kurt Warner Jeff got Kerry Collins do."
" This this year is this is this for this liberation thing quarterback offseason class because there -- guys. But you could sign as free -- they're guys you -- probably idealistic quarterbacks -- take -- look -- net -- creations Carrick -- that you mentioned Kurt Warner. Rex Grossman."
" Jeff Garcia."
" Michael Vick will be -- yeah. You can trade I believe. Four. More -- Matthew Hasselbeck. Vince Young Matt Ryder. Okay a layup that Tennessee Arizona they get it going normally guys but other guys could be free depending on what they decide to -- It creates but Derek Anderson -- It creates. It very -- staying off season with a lot of quarterback questions and some. Very intriguing decision that teams will make on a number of guys were employed. -- Alex missed free agents. Again you would think at some point -- these guys are not very good but then you know somebody in my like one of these."
" It's an interest in list data but again put yourself in the role the general manager of of Detroit okay what are out of it does have all those guys you named. Collins Warner Grossman. Garcia Michael Vick Bulger Hasselbeck younger liner. How many of those would you take over Matt Cassel all things being equal. Yeah who would you take over Matt Cassel how many of those guys we stand solid -- 5 years also. A year you might say Warner a year five years you wouldn't."
" All things being equal. This scenario that would that you -- this year that I agree with where you can go to England and Shea are being Buick to -- I'm I'm just throwing that out there okay. The tour but because. Basically. They can lose castle by not tagging him he goes through free agency and then they get -- third. Round draft pick and a compensatory pick in all probability of friends and so yeah of course of course the franchise and that there's no way -- you don't franchise between sexual quarterback we did the things she did there's no way. So he gets franchise so YouTube -- what are you looking to do better than three clearly okay that a team that trade for Matt Cassel at the trade to Matt Cassel. Pats do probably something better than that and paid him. A big money contract."
" Big money contract but believe it or not I think less than you would have to pay Matthew Stafford. Let's face it Matt Ryan got 34 million guaranteed I think a fight him if I'm Mark Sanchez -- staff from the top three. That's why stocked a star -- Matt Ryan's contract."
" Right and if you're gonna trick for Matt Cassel might get serious he gets beat Tony Romo more Bolger contract the match out contract which -- Six years. 65 BR writers contract. Six years order where he gets 57 million dollars or six years 65 million. Twenty guaranteed yet you're -- money you gain by an experienced quarterback to me -- the team. What I'd do is executive you'd like topic analyst tackle. And I traded to a five words to a four or but to illustrate where whatever combination works for the team in the Patriots. Do -- At a new and -- the Patriots -- you get percent of at a conference to like. Detroit or Kansas City or what it is in the conference or Minnesota or Chicago or whatever."
" I don't care about that they sent Bledsoe to Buffalo."
" Report Adam that you add a new name to the mix of possible candidates in Kansas City when you say pioli. Might be considering Dolphins defensive coordinator Paul passed baloney. --"
" I don't think this'll likely choice that situation that is absolutely were looking at for number reasons. And here's a guy that. Scott worked with at Syracuse in 1988 in 89 years together -- a good reputation around the league. Didn't have a great year this year so that's why I think some stock takes a little bit minute. But I know there are teams that actually considered him as they take coach. When they were looking to put together their head coaching list -- off season. And he had a very similar backgrounds tarnished brought up basically Scot were to go in that direction it will be similar model to the one that his father in law deployed in Miami up. So I I don't people that scored his first or second or third choice but I do think he's going to blessed."
" Adam would you be surprised or shocked if a little bird from Kansas City whisper in your ear that believe it or not Scott pioli is giving. Consideration. To keeping Herm Edwards around for one year."
" No no I think dead in a perfect world. Judgment day most would not have been higher by the Broncos -- preference would be willing to leave Iowa. In either of those options is now in place -- Now it comes down to bitch do you go higher -- spell I know why believe they will talk to they will like and it. And he will be a serious candidate do you go respect no. You have firm finished the last year's contract. Forty turn to they outsider like appalled past -- give them."
" don't have to -- at one step further in save -- I don't like what's left on the bus they right now and we allow her to do this for another year and might be available next year like all I don't know. A collar or Shanahan or somebody else -- I think enough."
" Well there's no question that if you wait one year. Annually -- or shedding any good total now up. So clearly there's you know whatever it is it's there cal where is the name to watch because. Pure link tower are friendly and well oversized considered as readership this week dead. He thinks tower would be intriguing -- we can't say -- I don't know that's right or wrong but I do go to former cal working on Sunday night okay. And cal or two he makes a lot of since into doesn't that if you want to have firm be the bridge to get either."
" in in all of your phone calls in all of your back channel. Information exchanges have you heard the name just jag is in ski come up with any coaching job all of the cockamamie story about the New York Jets."
" Yes you have yes dudes hell. I know that he was initially on the Rams blessed to have a good day they decided to go to different direction. And they never. Interviewed him at least not to my knowledge. But. Q -- on the radar of other people and then I had another team an assistant GM who won they will be GM email mission is jags name came out that. That was my number one guy if I ever got a job so yeah. -- their names on the radar capsule is."
" Is Rex Ryan and the guy and and in New York is that whether waiting."
" Yeah -- I think he's going to be the end Europe looked pretty defected -- now they they did. Woody Johnson had lunch -- on Tuesday which. For some reason flew under the radar and -- look at always creep in their. But I believe that -- tries they've got in New York."
" more sickened by Adam are we going to see an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl for the network nightmare Arizona Baltimore or some other domination."
" A handful Baltimore Philadelphia I think is a different kind of combination that would. Still have appeal but. I think -- most appealing clearly a deal Pennsylvania Super Bowl and that's the way I think it'll go. But I also thought that Carolina would take care of Arizona right now so that's an -- daycare Baltimore and it didn't happen that way."
" I -- Arizona beat Carolina by twenty you're so good guys there's a three touchdown having."
" Out of the -- Barbara you know is going to happen -- your furor that -- appreciate the time good docket you enjoy the -- this week MR I enjoyed it all right I don't had a chapter was joining us on the eighteenth -- top line. AT&T your world delivered."
